Shohei Ohtani's Life-Sized Gold Statues of Both Pitcher and Batter Appear! Combined Reference Price for Two Statues is ¥110 Million!

SGC Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Takihisa Ishikawa), a company that manufactures and sells gold products and purchases precious metals, will hold "The Great Gold Exhibition," an exhibition and sale of gold products, at JR Nagoya Takashimaya from July 15 (Wed) to July 20 (Mon, holiday), 2026, for six days.

Life-sized gold statues of both pitcher and batter will be specially exhibited together.

Specially exhibited at the venue will be life-sized gold statues of Shohei Ohtani, an MLB player for the Los Angeles Dodgers: "Golden Batter Shohei Ohtani" and "Golden Pitcher Shohei Ohtani." This is a rare opportunity to see both statues displayed together. These works were created by SGC, a pioneer in gold products, with Ohtani's official approval, over approximately two years. The batter statue uses 1,550 sheets of gold leaf and stands approximately 1.9m tall (approximately 2.4m from the base to the tip of the bat), the same height as Ohtani. The pitcher statue uses 1,450 sheets of gold leaf and stands approximately 1.7m tall. The reference price is ¥50 million (excluding tax, ¥55 million including tax) for each statue, and ¥100 million (excluding tax, ¥110 million including tax) for both combined, inspired by Ohtani's 2024 record of "50-50" (recording 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season) and achieving over 50 home runs for two consecutive years.

"Shohei Ohtani Pure Gold Collection" featuring Shohei Ohtani's pure gold medals and figures will be released.

Furthermore, under the title "Shohei Ohtani Pure Gold Collection," pure gold medals of Shohei Ohtani, approximately 5.4cm in diameter and weighing 100g, will be released as special project items. Two types will be available: batter and pitcher, with a planned sales price of ¥9,614,000 each.
